Colwill, 19, has emerged as a regular starter for Brighton & Hove Albion since last December. Since joining the Amex Stadium outfit from the Blues on a season-long loan earlier this summer, the Cobham youth product has racked up 812 minutes of action, starting nine matches.
A left-footed defender blessed with passing and marking, the England U21 player shot to prominence during his impressive loan spell at EFL Championship outfit Huddersfield Town last campaign. He netted two goals and contributed one assist in 32 overall appearances for them.
In his exclusive column for Si & Dan Talk Chelsea, reliable journalist Simon Phillips confirmed that Chelsea is aiming to offer a new and improved contract to Colwill in the near future. Manchester City and Bayern Munich have emerged as potential suitors for the promising center-back, whose current deal is set to runt in June of 2025.
Colwill, who is also adept at featuring as a left-back, is considered to be a future starter at Stamford Bridge. With Thiago Silva in the twilight of his career and Kalidou Koulibaly rumored to depart this summer, he is likely to secure a place in Graham Potter’s plans next campaign.
Meanwhile, the Blues have added Wesley Fofana from Leicester City and Benoit Badiashile from AS Monaco for a combined sum of over £105 million during the ongoing 2022-23 season. The club is also set to join the transfer race for RB Leipzig center-back Josko Gvardiol.
Colwill is next expected to be in action for Brighton during their Premier League away clash against Leicester City on Saturday (January 21).
